TVA ACTIVATION EXERCISES // Flatten Your Stomach & Engage Your Core!
If you want to learn how to engage your core muscles, this video will demonstrate several inner core exercises. I’ll show you how to do the draw in maneuver, the pelvic tilt exercise, and the stomach vacuum exercise (which is also called the belly vacuum). These lower ab activation exercises will flatten your stomach without crunches and increase your core muscle activation.
Each TVA activation exercise helps you develop transverse abdominis activation. These inner abs activation exercises teach you how to activate your TVA, which is important for flattening your stomach and protecting your back. These three TA activation exercises are often (somewhat incorrectly) called the lower abs activation exercise. Each of them is a TVA activation exercise, which refers to the inner abs. These are good core exercises for men over 35.
These are great core exercises for beginners. This is the beginning of an abs series and I have more core exercises coming up...so make sure to subscribe!

I've tried many exercises but couldn't activate my right TVA. The one on my knees, geeeeez, felt a large tendon pull and release. Instant relief. Will be doing it daily multiple times a day to make sure it doesn't get tight. THANK YOU. Couldn't work out for months!!!

Hello Ivana. I am trying to get myself into the best shape I can for singing. I believe I developed diasastis recti from my youth when I had competitions to eat fast. Anyway, I heard the TVA is a very important muscle for singing. Just wanted to say I appreciate your work. God bless you. 🙂

Thank you Ivana, I'm a 68 y.o. male with quite pronounced D.R. I've been wondering why I had this big ridge between my abs when I tried to do crunches after a long period of inactivity and weight gain. I am certain it is D.R., so tried your TVA activation excercises. The standing one seems to work best for me and I can feel the TVA working. It will take a lot of work, but I will keep at it. Will be subscribing to your site and watching for new excerises. Thanks again, you are a great help!

So glad to hear that my videos are helpful for you, and that you've chosen to subscribe...thank you! 😊It's always good to get a confirmed diagnosis of DR, just to make sure there isn't anything else going on. Be patient with the exercises. Although they may help strengthen your TVA and develop better abdominal control, they're not generally a solution for DR. They should help to keep the DR from getting worse, along with avoiding aggravating movements (like crunches!).

Would you suggest doing TVA? Post workout or pre-workout additionally, would you also recommend doing TVA exercises in a sauna or steam room. Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely going to incorporate this into my routine.

Thank you for giving us this great info! I noticed a couple years ago that I have a small gap between my upper abs, and always thought it was something normal.
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 3 года назад
Glad you liked it. 😊 Have you been assessed by a physio/doctor to confirm DR? Sometimes a small gap isn’t abnormal, but if you notice doming/coming on contraction then it’s more likely to be DR.

Do you hold your breath for the duration of the 30 seconds for the vacuum hold? Thanks so much! ❤️
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 3 года назад
You can do the vacuum either breathing or holding your breath. In the traditional vacuum, you would hold your breath for the full 30 seconds. But I find you can get a decent contraction while doing shallow breathing. So it's up to you! 😀

Hi Ivana! I keep getting into my back (sometimes a lot/ sometimes just a little) . I used to do Pilates daily so I know I'm not supposed to feel that. I did gain 20lbs. when I broke my ribs a couple of years ago. Do you think it's the extra weight or that my TVA is very weak? Any Jedi mind tricks you can give me to help visualize? I'm so surprised that it hasn't just come back! Thank you so much, your videos are very helpful!

@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 2 года назад
Yes, TVA exercises are recommended for Diastasis Recti. Whether they can actually correct the DR is hard to know for sure: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZT_Bzo2_soo.html

Good morning I just stumbled across your video. I have some lower issue. I tend to let my stomach hang, should I be activating my TVA all the time or just when am doing movement and excercise.
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 2 года назад
You don't need to try to activate the TVA all the time. Try to focus on it during movements and exercise. Eventually, the TVA will tense more effectively on it's own.

Towards the spine, but very gently. Focusing on the area between the hip bones.

Hi Ivana, I have a question. When doing the first exercise (pelvic tilt exercise) do you have to suck your belly all the way in or just a little?
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 3 года назад
Hi Mihir! It's not necessary to suck in all the way. Focus on gently pulling in the area between your hip bones (fairly low in the belly area). Hope that helps! 😊

So I do I pull in just the belly button or do I think about the top middle and bottom? Or do I clench the abs or only pull in?

hi, if i have some inner core muscles issues/imbalances causing spinal rotation, do you know how i could balance out both sides?

That's hard to say. What's causing the imbalances?
@paulgeorge9228
@paulgeorge9228 2 года назад
@@IvanaChapman i went to a chiro and i have excezsive scoliosis causing a pelvic rotation and spinal torsion. then he recommended me to suck in my tummy, which i think is working on the tva. he believes sucking in the tummy can help my sacrum return to neutral. but when i suck in my belly i feel its very imbalanced, my left side and right side of the tva is not equally as contracted
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 2 года назад
It's best to get a proper physiotherapy assessment. The excess tension could be coming from the oblique muscles or even the muscles of the back.

1st time seeing you I am trying to get close to having a flat stomach and a six pack atb68 years old but I was told it's impossible for my age. 1 year ago I lost 75 lbs. From intermittent fasting so I can understand why the person at the gym td me it's impossible I have gone down to 100lbs and 3 months age I gained 20lbs due to 1 month vacation in the Caribbean. So what is your opinion. I am 5ft nothing 117 lbs. Now.?????

@stephaddiction 2 года назад
In the second one, it's Pelvic tilt, pull stomach to spine, and what do I squeeze when you say squeeze?
@IvanaChapman
@IvanaChapman 2 года назад
The squeeze comes from the TVA as you're pulling in the stomach to the spine. So I was just trying to emphasize the pulling in by saying "squeeze". Is that clear? 😊

@IvanaChapman

Try to focus on just the left side and see if that helps. If not, you may have a muscle tightness/imbalance that you could look into with a physical therapist.
